    What change do you propose ... rush Xhekaj and/or Mailloux up to try to benefit the Habs in the short term rather than benefiting the team and players in the long-term?

     

    Wifi is NHL ready given the right partner, just needs to be mindful of penalties.  We desperately need his strength in and around our net, as opponents are camping out there without consequence and scoring easily and often.  Mailloux, no...he needs the seasoning in Laval, but I'd sure as hell give Kovacevic a shot again based on how absolutely useless both Barron and Harris look lately.

    Occasionally the opposing goalie also has something to do with the lack of scoring.

     

    There were some great saves made, but there were also too many high/wide shots on great chances that let Markstrom off the hook.

    Matheson is exhibit A of an example of a dman that at times looks like a legit top pairing guy, but clearly isn’t one. He is an elite skater very skilled, but just makes too many bad decisions.

    Agreed...he makes big mistakes far too often.

    Yeah, we're in tough. But like they say - that's why they play the games. 🤷‍♂️

     

    Exactly.  The purely logical part of my brain is saying that the Devils will win handily, but after watching New England beat Buffalo this past Sunday I am reminded that outcomes don't always make sense.

    It seemed to me that the Gally line started the game strong and then gradually lost its way (maybe because the opposition coach made an adjustment targeting that line? I dunno). By the third Gallagher was flailing around out there, coughing up the puck and losing battles like I've never seen from him before. Embarrassing. I want to say "that can't go on," but I don't know what the Habs can do about it other than paying him $6 mil to eat hot dogs.

     

    I was of the 'give him 10 games to maybe prove he's turned it around some, then pressbox him if he still stinks' mentality.  But after watching him for two games, I don't think we can afford to give him that long with him being as useless as he is now.  If he shows nothing in the next 3, then let him sit and eat hot dogs.
